Why Experienced Mental Health Nurses Are Vital in Medico-Legal Practice

Our panel members are integral to the UK’s legal and regulatory ecosystem.

You won’t be left to navigate the complexities alone - Apex provides full administrative support, expert witness training, secure data systems, and structured workflows.

If you’re a band 7 or higher mental health nurse with a decade of clinical experience, the opportunity to become an Expert Mental Health Nurse Consultant at Apex Experts may be your next defining career chapter.

Who We Are

Apex Experts is a leading medico-legal firm based in Norfolk, working nationwide and across international jurisdictions. We understands the pressures of frontline care and the legal intricacies of expert witness work. Our mission is simple: to elevate the profession and protect its integrity through credible, impartial nurse-led reporting.

What We’re Looking For

We’re expanding our panel and specifically seeking mental health nurses who meet the following criteria:

• Band 7 or above

• At least 10 years’ clinical experience

• Active NMC registration

• Currently practising or recently active in mental health nursing

• Interest in medico-legal work

• No prior expert witness experience required, training provided

  
  

If you are respected in your field, committed to evidence-based practice, and ready to step into a leadership role in legal health accountability, this is the perfect match.

Why Join Apex Experts?

Here’s what sets us apart from traditional independent expert witness work:

• You stay clinical: Expert work fits around your schedule

• No admin burden: We handle all client communications, case management, invoicing, and marketing

• Reliable income: You’re paid within 30 days, even if clients delay

• Free training: We provide expert training on your schedule.

• Court-ready: Full guidance on CPR Part 35, report writing, and courtroom prep

What You’ll Be Doing

As a panel member, you’ll:

• Review records and clinical chronologies

• Write structured medico-legal reports

• Provide breach of duty and causation opinions

• Attend remote or in-person meetings

• Occasionally give evidence in court

All reports follow a clear Apex template, and you’ll be supported throughout the process. Your independence as an expert is paramount, we never ask you to favour a side. Your duty is always to the court or instructing body.

Flexibility and Support

We know your time is valuable. Expert work is flexible and structured around your availability. We provide digital access to secure case files and all necessary templates and tools via our encrypted Citrix platform.

You’ll be treated as a consultant, not an employee, which means you set your terms, your hours, and your workload. Apex Experts supports you fully, but your voice and opinion are always your own.
